Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of virtual modeling technology for power communication equipment, specifically to a method and system for simulating the dynamic environment of optical cable lines based on physical rendering. Background Technology

[0002] In power communication external line equipment and facilities, optical fiber lines serve as the core link for information transmission, carrying critical services such as power production dispatching, monitoring, and safety. Their operational status directly determines the stability and security of the power system. Currently, optical fiber lines cover a wide area and operate in complex and diverse environments, encompassing various scenarios such as mountainous areas, cities, trenches, and dams. They face multiple environmental challenges, including drastic temperature changes, high salt spray, strong electromagnetic interference, and terrain deformation, which can easily lead to problems such as damage to the optical fiber itself, electrolytic corrosion, and joint failures.

[0003] Traditional optical cable line simulation technology has significant shortcomings: First, it suffers from distorted material reproduction. The use of empirical rendering models results in harsh reflections from metal parts and a lack of realistic light transmission in non-metallic parts, leading to a loss rate of over 40% for key visual information. Second, it suffers from sluggish environmental response. It often uses static environmental parameters and cannot simulate the dynamic impact of environmental changes on optical cables in real time, making it difficult to predict potential faults. Third, it is difficult to identify hidden defects. Defects such as micron-level cracks and slight corrosion have low contrast in traditional simulations and are easily missed. Fourth, it suffers from insufficient rendering performance. The model loads slowly in complex scenes, making it difficult to meet the frame rate requirements of scenarios such as AR inspection and mobile monitoring.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for simulating the dynamic environment of optical cable lines based on physically based rendering. This method performs physical-level simulations based on the optical properties of real materials, collects relevant data on the optical cable line and its auxiliary equipment, models the dynamic environment parameters of the optical cable line, constructs PBR material models of the optical cable and its auxiliary equipment based on the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF), defines specific material parameters for different components, simulates the coupling effect between dynamic environment parameters and the optical cable line, and uses ray tracing technology to simulate shadows and reflections under real lighting. The simulation results are verified in three dimensions: visual accuracy, physical consistency, and defect recognition rate. Summary of the Invention

Hardware acceleration, visibility culling, and multi-resolution rendering technology are combined to improve rendering efficiency. Image quality is optimized through post-processing such as anti-aliasing, depth of field effects, and color correction. Step S6, Simulation Result Verification: Verify the simulation results from three dimensions: visual accuracy, physical consistency, and defect recognition rate. Visual accuracy is verified by comparing with the actual object to check the material reproduction degree.

Verification is carried out from three core dimensions: visual accuracy, physical consistency, and defect recognition rate, to ensure that the simulation results meet the requirements of actual application.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S1 includes the following different data acquisitions: Geometric data acquisition: High-precision point cloud data of equipment such as optical cables, junction boxes, and fiber distribution boxes are acquired using laser scanners with an accuracy of ≤0.05mm. Large-scale optical cable routing and terrain data are acquired through drone aerial photography.

Material data acquisition: Take photos of the surface texture of optical cables and accessories with a macro camera, and use material analysis instruments to detect key parameters such as reflectivity and roughness of aluminum-clad steel wire, light transmittance and refractive index of HDPE outer sheath, and texture characteristics of stainless steel pipe. Physical property data acquisition: Collect physical parameters such as the elastic modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, tensile strength, and sealing performance of the junction box of the optical cable, and determine the parameter thresholds with reference to industry standards such as IEEE1138; Historical Operation and Maintenance Data Collection: Connect to the power and communication operation and maintenance database to obtain data such as optical cable fault records, environmental impact logs, and maintenance records, providing historical reference for dynamic environment simulation.

[0018] Data was collected from a 110kV optical cable line along the coast. Point cloud data of the optical cable and junction box were obtained using a laser scanner. The texture of the HDPE outer sheath was captured by a macro camera. Material analysis instruments were used to test the aluminum-clad steel wire, which showed a reflectivity of 0.85 and a roughness of 0.08. The elastic modulus of the optical cable was collected at 80 GPa, and the coefficient of thermal expansion was 12 × 10⁻⁶. -6 / ℃, connect to the operation and maintenance database to obtain salt spray corrosion fault records for the past 3 years.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S2 includes the following steps: S210, Core Environmental Parameter Modeling: Establish models for five core environmental parameters: temperature, humidity, electromagnetic field, salt spray, and terrain deformation. Temperature covers the extreme range of -40℃ to 70℃, humidity covers the range of 0% to 100%, and electromagnetic field strength is set with safety thresholds according to the power industry's strong electromagnetic interference standards. S220, Parameter Dynamic Update: Real-time access to environmental sensor data deployed at key nodes of the optical cable line, with sensor sampling frequency ≥10Hz and data transmission delay ≤200ms; for areas without sensor coverage, the average value of the historical environmental database is used as static parameters. S230 Trend Prediction: By analyzing the changing patterns of environmental parameters through time series algorithms, the trend of environmental changes in the next 24 hours is predicted, providing data support for the prediction of optical cable line faults; S240, Extreme Environment Sub-model: For special scenarios such as high salt spray in coastal areas, strong temperature difference in mountainous areas, and strong electromagnetic interference in cities, a dedicated extreme environment sub-model is constructed to accurately simulate the impact of harsh environments on optical cables.

The temperature range is set to 5℃~35℃, the humidity range is 60%~95%, and the electromagnetic field strength is set to ≤10kV / m according to the power industry standard. The salt spray concentration change trend in the next 24 hours is predicted by the LSTM time series algorithm.

Interactive simulation of terrain deformation: Combining GIS terrain data, it simulates the tensile effects of terrain subsidence, landslides, etc. on optical cables, and presents the stress state of optical cables in real time. Visualization of latent defects: Through ambient light occlusion algorithms, latent defects such as micron-level cracks and corrosion pits are made to present high-contrast features in simulated scenarios, making them easy for maintenance personnel to identify.

[0024] Figure 2 This is a simulation diagram of the dynamic environment interaction effect of the optical cable line according to the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 (a) To simulate the deposition process of salt spray on the surface of optical cable, a salt spray concentration of 5000 mg / m³ was used to reduce the deposition morphology of sodium chloride crystals on the surface of optical cable, showing the aging and roughening effect of the sheath caused by salt spray corrosion. Figure 2 (b) Real-time display of the electro-erosion and carbonization trajectory of the optical cable sheath under electromagnetic field environment, highlighting the parts with potential discharge hazards through high contrast display. Figure 2 (c) Simulation of optical cable sag deformation in temperature-changing environments dynamically presents the thermal expansion and contraction of the optical cable due to temperature gradients, accurately reproducing the sag deformation. The image enhances the defect area through light and shadow contrast, making previously difficult-to-detect 0.1mm-level micro-cracks and corrosion pits clearly visible, solving the problem of low defect contrast and easy omission in traditional simulations.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S5 integrates technologies such as ray tracing and hardware acceleration, including the following steps: S301, Core Rendering Optimization: Enable ray tracing technology in the Unity engine to simulate shadow and reflection effects under real lighting conditions, and set multiple types of light sources such as sunlight, moonlight, and artificial light sources to restore all-weather lighting scenes; S302, Hardware Acceleration Enhancement: Utilizes the parallel computing power of high-performance GPUs to accelerate ray casting and scene rendering, and combines visibility culling technology to render only objects within the user's field of view; S303, LOD hierarchical management: Three levels of precision are set according to viewing distance.

Post-processing optimization: Anti-aliasing algorithms are used to eliminate jagged edges on the image, depth of field effects are used to highlight key equipment components, color correction is used to unify the color balance of the image, and effects such as blurring and sharpening are added as needed to improve inspection efficiency.

[0027] Figure 3 This invention renders a LOD (Level of Detail) comparison diagram.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, LOD precision is set to level 3. Figure 3 (a) Level L0 is used for macro-level monitoring of the line. The optical cable line is rendered as a simplified line or a low-poly ribbon, which only expresses the basic route and direction. Key equipment such as junction boxes and towers are simplified to basic geometric shapes or icons, which is suitable for overall layout display, path planning and large-scale scene overview. Figure 3 (b) Level L1 is used for inspection operations. The optical cable has a clear cylindrical structure. The junction box, fiber distribution box and other equipment show the basic external structure and outline of the main components. However, the internal complex structure is simplified or omitted. Medium resolution texture mapping and basic PBR material effects are applied to express the basic texture and color of metal and plastic. However, details such as highlights and reflections may be controlled. It is suitable for daily inspection, external inspection of equipment status and preliminary fault location. Figure 3 (c) A highly detailed L2-level model is used for viewing the internal details of the junction box. Ray tracing is enabled to simulate the effect of sea surface reflected light on the optical cable. Image quality is optimized through anti-aliasing and color correction. The rendering frame rate on the AR glasses reaches 62FPS, which is suitable for refined maintenance operation training, component-level defect detection, and internal structure learning.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S6 involves verification from three core dimensions: visual accuracy, physical consistency, and defect recognition rate, including: Visual accuracy verification involves comparing the simulation results with the actual optical cable and high-definition photographs to check the material reproduction, texture clarity, and lighting realism, ensuring that the visual error is ≤3%. Physical consistency verification: Theoretical data on optical cable deformation and stress are obtained through mechanical simulation tools and compared with simulation results to ensure that the error of physical parameters is ≤5%; Defect recognition rate verification: Select optical cable samples containing latent defects and compare the number of defects detected by the traditional simulation method with that of this method to ensure that the latent defect recognition rate of this method is ≥65% higher than that of the traditional method, and the defect false positive rate is ≤5%; Finally, the verification results are standardized and packaged to generate a visual report. For results that fail, the corresponding steps are returned to adjust the parameters until the requirements are met. The visual accuracy comparison shows a material reproduction error of 2.1%. In the physical consistency verification, the error between the simulated data and the measured data of the optical cable sag is 3.2%. The defect identification rate is 68% higher than that of traditional methods. Three micro-cracks that were missed by traditional simulation were successfully detected. After the verification is passed, a visual operation and maintenance report is generated.
